[Translator] First occurence in yml not read

[rvanlaak]

Over the last few months occasionally a quite weird bug occurs. Seems to be occurring since the 2.6 branch, but don't tested that yet. Will make a reproducible test case later on.

{{ 'step'|trans({'%step%': stepNo}) }}

Not working

step: Schritt %step%
to_step: Zu Schritt %step% »

Working

stub: - empty -
step: Schritt %step%
to_step: Zu Schritt %step% »

The first translation occurrence in the yml file is not read, so the fallback message is shown. Clearing the cache does not solve it, putting a "stub" translation on top of the file does solve it.

I'll look into it

I can't reproduce your issue in both 2.6-dev and 2.7-dev.
can you make the changes in a fork of Symfony Standard Edition to reproduce it?

I'm running symfony 2.6 and I don't think I have this issue. I can check next Monday if it's really the case when I update to the latest patch version.

Tried to narrow this down, but did not resolve it completely yet. It has something to do with the initial caching of the translation catalogs, because after restarting Apache on the PROD environment the key is read properly.

Will work on debugging this later on.

Closing as there is no feedback. @rvanlaak Feel free to reopen if you have more details.

Found some more info about this while I was writing a JsonExporter, the first character of the result file was the following:

\ufeff

So the UTF BOM character seems to mess up the translation key here. PHPStorm does not seem to properly format this.
